Yeah. Yeah. Well I really don't know. Uh I think really that we should have an important film festival in this country and I think they're probably san Francisco is going to be it. There are a lot more, there's a lot more to a film festival and

00:00:29.610 - 00:00:51.260

just quote showing films for instance, there has to be participation by major studios and so far major studios have been very, very distrustful of film film festivals and I think with some cause especially with the foreign film festivals because for instance, having been at con, having

00:00:51.260 - 00:01:06.800

had a film in con, I have never seen such anti american sentiment in my life as as there was at that particular festival. Now I don't think that's necessary. Do you think that the non competitive aspect of this year's film festival is good? I think it's

00:01:06.810 - 00:01:21.250

excellent. I really do. I think it's a very good idea and I think that more and more film festivals should be that way because I think that one of the problems that big film companies have is it, say they spend $34 million on a film and

00:01:21.250 - 00:01:33.140

they sent it to a film festival before it's ever released and if the thing gets panned or something like that, they feel that their whole investment is down the drain and it's much better. I think if the film has just shown and not reviewed and then

00:01:33.140 - 00:01:39.920

nobody feels jeopardized in any way and I think that people get a chance to see the various product of, of different countries
